Configuring App Connect Enterprise to run in a container

You can configure one or more integration servers and deploy them to run in a container, where they will process messages that contain your business data.

About this task

On Linux® and Windows systems, you can install IBM® App Connect Enterprise and the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, and start developing your applications. You can also configure an environment for more advanced application development and unit test, as described in Configuring the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit.

Use the information in this section to plan and configure the resources that you need to run in a container. Alternatively, you can configure App Connect Enterprise to run on premises or in Docker.

If you are intending to run App Connect Enterprise in a container, you can develop and deploy your applications to an independent integration server quickly and easily, without the need to create and configure an integration node.

Procedure

Configure App Connect Enterprise to run in a container by following these steps:

  1. Plan your system; see Planning an IBM App Connect Enterprise environment.
  2. Configure security for the integration server, as described in Configuring HTTP basic authentication for an integration node or server and Configuring SSL or TLS for an integration node or server.
  3. Create and configure your integration servers, as described in Configuring integration servers.
  4. If you want to ensure that you are using the correct operation mode for your license, see Checking the operation mode and Changing the operation mode.
  5. Create and configure the databases.
  6. If you want to connect to external resources such as Enterprise Information Systems, IMS, or JMS, Configure properties to connect to external resources.
  7. If you want to configure the storage of events for aggregation, Collector, resequence, or timeout nodes, or configure monitoring event sources, Configure internal resources that are required by message flows.
  8. If you want to view objects in a different language or code page, Change the locale.
